What is electric current, in laymen's terms?

I'm going to assume that you would like to know the classical electrodynamical definition of current. Electric current, simply stated, is consistent motion of electrons in a repeating pattern. read more

Field: The electric field can be characterized in terms of four related physical quantities: electric potential energy, electric force, electric field intensity, and electric potential (voltage). Electric potential (ϕ) is the electric energy per unit charge at a location in space, Thus, one can think of the electric potential as the electric energy density at a point in the electric field. read more
